Bought directly from Waddesdon Wine, Barons de Rothschild's UK Agent, the bottles are stored in bond at London City Bond Eton Park, in ideal conditions at a constant 13°C. For same-day deliveries, small quantities are kept in our office cellar, where the temperature is maintained between 11–13°C. We source all our bottles directly from the Maison or their official UK office, eliminating the risk of poor storage. This is crucial, as champagne quality is highly sensitive to heat: temperatures above 18°C accelerate maturity significantly, which compromises quality.
In 2003, the most famous name in wine turned their attention to the sparkling variety, founding Champagne Barons de Rothschild. The three Rothschild cousins Baron Benjamin, Baron Eric and Baroness Philippine came together with a single ambition: to combine the best terroirs with their know-how and finally add champagne to Rothschild’s huge portfolio of wines. Experiencing incredible early growth, the House managed to secure contracts to an impressive 72 hectares of vineyard, with 50% located in Grand Cru rated Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Premier Cru rated Vertus. With their winery, Chateau Rothschild, and the majority of their vineyards located in the Côte des Blancs, the house-style is Chardonnay focused.
Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut NV uses three to four-year old Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from only Grand and Premier Cru vineyards.

Aged for at least three years, Barons de Rothschild Brut NV has a high 40% reserve wine content.

Tasting Note:Pale gold with a fine stream of bubbles, on the nose initial aromas of pear and nuttiness give way to hints of brioche. On the palate: a linear and lively flavour of orchard fruits and hazelnuts, on the mid-palate: the texture is creamy and has an elegant freshness. The finish is long with light flavours of white flowers and toasty characteristics. Pairing with light dishes, scallops and shellfish will bring out the best of this champagne.

Expert Reviews

Richard Hemming MW
“Bright primary lemon fruit with toffee and caramel on the palate – plenty of maturity here, yet not so much autolysis. Savoury and slaty on the nose, in a style that is almost akin to good Riesling Sekt. Smoky finish. A bit sharp and almost austere. 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir. Based on 2017 harvest. 40% reserve wine. At least four years on lees. Dosage 5 g/l.”

“Bright fruity, clean, rather neutral nose of apple and cream. Sweet fruit and mild seductive autolysis nuances. Promising nose, however less fruity on the palate. Still, good fruit quality and purity. Light and elegant with brisk acidity and a fine lemony finish. ”

“(6 g/l dosage; LS30B16L1): Pale yellow. Orange zest, lemongrass, jasmine and chalky minerals on the perfumed nose, with a hint of white pepper adding lift. Juicy, mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruit flavors are fleshed out by suggestions of melon and honey, putting on weight with air while maintaining vivacity. Spicy and focused on the very long, mineral-driven finish, which leaves chalky mineral and floral notes behind.”
